With Denials Like This, Better Watch Your Back
Jean Todt, a piece of advice from the Half-Vast Staff™ of Full Throttle, when your boss Luca di Montezemolo issues such a luke-warm non-denial denial as that that follows you better don your Kevlar suit coat.
A knife in the back will soon follow.
“Until further notice he [Todt] will carry on doing that, while also having the Gestione Sportiva under his wing,” di Montezemolo, Ferrari president, said after a Fiat Group board meeting earlier this week.
“In any case, we’ll announce the team organisation for 2008 at Christmas,” the Italian added.
How very tepid!
Allegedly, according to the most ardent Tifosi, Montezemolo has expressed his desire for the return from sabbatical of Ross Brawn to lead the Prancing Steeds in 2008. That has led to the apparent tiff between Montezemolo and Michelle Yeoh’s better half. (See, there is a reason for the cheescake photo. We loooove Michelle - ed.)
In any case whether it be at the helm of Ferrari in 2008 or Todt’s shown the paddock door (Merry Christmas!) by Montezemolo we at FT wish him well and he enjoys retirement in his second home.

Are Ferarri and NASCAR waging a headline grabbing war? Are the change at the top NASCAR rumors in response to the Ferarri rumors? Enquiring minds want to know!
The most exciting things about Formula One these days are–1)the standing start, 2)the first two or three laps after the standing start, and 3)the intrigue and backstabbing that goes on behind the scenes and throughout the off season.
It’s hard to judge, being in the United States–who is the best at keeping their series in the news year-round, NASCAR or Formula 1?
